No, we should not.

Before DEI it was “Diversity Hire”, which is actually kind of funny because the expanded it to be more inclusive!

No psychologist would say that!

Yeah, the problem with LEDs is that they leaned into the bright as possible approach which makes the misaligned headlights even worse than the old bulbs. They could easily make the headlights a soft light. Harsh white light was a choice.

I turned off autocorrect because it was changing valid words into other words. Having an obvious typo is preferable to changing the meaning completely, which happened enough times for me to notice.

Stop having fun!

Mainly I’m asking all of you why do people insist on only answering 1 question out of an e-mail where there are multiple?

They are either distracted or don’t understand that there are multiple questions. In a few cases they don’t want or know how to respond to multiple questions in an email format because they are afraid of changing your text formatting (yes, at least three people have told me that was why they didn’t).

Do people just not read?

Quite a few have terrible reading comprehension.

Are people that lazy?

Some are.

What is going on?

It is a mix of a lot of things, all of which are different versions of poor communication skills.

As far as I can tell their last paragraph is three clear and distinct questions.

Nine was poorly reviewed by critics and audiences.

But otherwise his choices have been solid.

Xbox game store is also on PC, and they share titles on steam. A lot of Playstation games are also released on steam. In fact, being exclusives to those consoles is becoming far less common than cross platform with PC. Nintendo is the only one that doesn’t do any cross platform releases and doesn’t do sales.

What reason do you have that you deserve it?

You clearly just want to be right and are projecting because not everyone agrees with you.

A digital platform limited to their hardware.

And in regards to indie studios: then buy their games and stop complaining, duh. Like, if you know there’s all these amazing and cheap alternatives, why are you bitching about what Nintendo charges? No one’s forcing you. Go play something else. It’s really that easy.

It is easy enough that I am doing that and not complaining about Nintendo’s pricing, just discussing why it is so high. Is discussion automatically complaining?

They were originally mostly or all at the beginning, as in several minutes of credits before the movie started. There were occasional exceptions where they had fewer or just a title screen prior to the 70s, but the vast majority had several minutes of credits before the movie started.

Star Wars kicked off popularity of pushing the credits to the end of the movie. Again, not the first, but the start of the popularity. Pretty sure Lucas received a fine for doing it as well.

Since then most movies tend to have a few credits at the beginning and the majority at the end. In my opinion this was inevitable. Star Wars had two good reasons to move them back from my perspective, it let the story start right away, and listing everyone involved with the special effects would have taken forever. The light credits, especially those overlaying the opening scenes is a lot better than the wall of text that was displayed before movies even started prior to the late 70s.

If indie devs can make a game and sell it for less than Nintendo games sold for in the 90s then maybe it isn’t actually more expensive to develop and distribute games that are somewhat comparable to games from the 80s. A lot of games sell for $40 or less and are making profits.

Nintendo games are more expensive partially because they are limited to Nintendo hardware. Like Apple, this requires more costs for software because their target audience is smaller than something through a digital platform like steam, and distribution is a pretty significant cost and physical distribution has a lot of risk and waste compared to digital if something doesn’t sell as many as expected.

Experts are working from their perspective, which involves being employed to know the details of how the AI works and the potential benefits. They are invested in it being successful as well, since they spent the time gaining that expertise. I would guess a number of them work in fields that are not easily visible to the public, and use AI systems in ways the public never will because they are focused on things like pattern recognition on virii or idendifying locations to excavate for archeology that always end with a human verifying the results. They use AI as a tool and see the indirect benefits.

The general public’s experience is being told AI is a magic box that will be smarter than the average person, has made some flashy images and sounds more like a person than previous automated voice things. They see it spit out a bunch of incorrect or incoherent answers, because they are using it the way it was promoted, as actually intelligent. They also see this unreliable tech being jammed into things that worked previously, and the negative outcome of the hype not meeting the promises. They reject it because how it is being pushed onto the public is not meeting their expectations based on advertising.

That is before the public is being told that AI will drive people out of their jobs, which is doubly insulting when it does a shitty job of replacing people. It is a tool, not a replacement.

We shouldn’t be satisfied until high level execs and Musk, all of whom profit from Tesla’s sales, are jailed for fraud related to the scam sales in Canada.

I knew the south was backwards, didn’t know they were upside down too.

I didn’t say anything about extrrninating religion, I responded to your comment saying people’s beliefs have no affect on an atheist.

Atheists being against religion is a reaction to the default assumption that everyone is part of a religion. The label atheist only exists as a response to beliefs.

Like every large religion, a significant portion of the followers will ignore any teaching in the right contexts. Christians are about turning the other cheek and loving thy neighbor except for the crusades and witch trials, Islam is the religion of peace except for when it isn’t, and Buddhism has its own exceptions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism_and_violence

As found in other religious traditions, Buddhism has an extensive history of violence dating back to its inception.

These remarks followed the 1973 student-led uprising, as well as the creation of a Thai parliament and the spread of communism in neighboring East Asian countries. The fear of communism shaking the social forms of Thailand felt a very real threat to Kittivuddho, who expressed his nationalist tendencies in his defense of militant actions. He justified his argument by dehumanizing the Communists and leftists that he opposed. In the interview with Caturat he affirmed that this would not be the killing of people, but rather the killing of monsters/devils. He similarly asserted that while killing of people is prohibited and thus de-meritorious in Buddhist teachings, doing so for the “greater good” will garner greater merit than the act of killing will cost.

Other people’s beliefs directly impact me constantly through laws justified by religious doctrine, social pressures, imposing themselves into government offices, and being used to promote lying politicians who claim to be members but never following the teachings while gaining votes for being on the same team.

It has negatively affected me my entire life, even if it isn’t a obvious as racism and misogyny.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Ow, my sides.
